I was sitting in Lisa's car waiting for her because she forgot her phone or something. All I wanted to do was running away but I couldn't. Mom made it pretty clear that running away wasn't an option.
Lisa came running to the car. She sat down and fastened her seatbelt.
"I know you don't want to be here."
"Good job for that" I snapped at her and while glaring at her I saw how hurt she looked.
"Let me talk for a second. I'm sorry that you are so annoyed about this idea. Maybe you can just forget that it's me sitting next to you. Then maybe you can at least enjoy the movie."
I didn't say anything.
"So do you want some popcorn or something?" Lisa asked when we bought the tickets. I shook my head.
"No, I'm good."
We sat down and I was really glad that you don't have to talk during a movie. Somehow my parents knew exactly what they were doing. Because the movie was about two sisters that drifted apart while growing up. But the reasons for that were stupid. There were parties and alcohol and stupid arguments about who wore which T-shirt.
It was totally different with us. Mom and Dad will never be able to fix what happened between us. Because some things are just forever broken. Like a mirror that falls to the ground. You will never be able to glue all the tiny pieces back together. That mirror will stay shattered forever. Even if you try you will see all the pieces apart. And that's what Lisa and I are. Apart from each other. Sometimes I wish for that mirror to be smooth again. For that mirror to never have fallen down. Sometimes I hope Lisa would move out.
After the movie, we went to Taco bell to eat something. I sat down at one of the tables crossing my arms.
"I can order for both of us. What do you want?", Lisa asked. She smiled shyly at me while I only looked at her mad.
"Nothing. I'm not hungry."
"But you only ate breakfast today."
I shrugged.
"Please, you have to eat something. I can sit at another table if you want." She offered.
"I said I'm not hungry. And now go get your stupid food so we can go as soon as possible!"
Lisa sighed and nodded. She bought her food but I didn't look at her. Instead I just looked at my phone and scrolled through twitter.
"So did you like the movie?" Lisa asked after emptying half of her plate.
"Seriously? You want to do small talk? Just eat. I wanna go home."
"I'm sorry."
Finally she didn't try to talk to me again. And when we came home, Mom was sitting on the couch looking at us curious.
"How was it?"
"It was great! We love each other again, Mom. Your plan worked out so well!" I said ironical and run up the stairs. Why did everyone try to fix things that can't be fixed? It was ridiculous.
I put on my headphones so I wouldn't have to talk to Dani. Because I still was mad even though I had no reason. But I learned that things happen without a reason and so I could be mad without one, right? When there is no reason what's the point of everything at all? Things can change in one second. It's like that star that was beautiful and bright and so incredible beautiful and then it turned into a shooting star and dies. Stars shine brighter right before they die. It's the same when you lose something. Everything is fine you are happy and then when you think you have the best time of your life it's falling apart. They take everything away from you. And that's unfair and I was sick and tired of it.
Later Lisa entered the room with a plate in her hands. She put it on my nightstand and smiled at me. I put down the headphones and looked at her annoyed.
"Pasta. I thought you should at least eat something before you go to bed" she said and didn't even wait for a response. Then she was out of the door. Why did she try so hard? She knew it won't be like before. She didn't even say sorry. She never apologized. I waited for it but now it's just too late. I waited for her to say that she's sorry, that she regretted what she did. That it's her fault, that everything is her fault. But everything she gave me was silence. And silence hurts.
Wow, I know it took me an eternity to update but now I did. I really hope you like this chapter. The next one is almost done so I'll probably update it sometimes tomorrow or the day after. Thank you so much for reading!!! And sorry again for letting you wait for such a long time!
What do you think so far? What do you think happened between Lauren and Lisa that made Lauren so mad?
